I want to confess that i hardly understand the text of Huff & Kline. I just know that the journal can improve cognitive development and there are three functions of language : expressive, transactional and poetic.
I guess that what you said to me in our class last week about free writing, ypu might take it from this text because you said aboutwriting is not product but it is a process which is similar to the idea appeared in this text. Even many educators try to get rid of this approach but I think it is an useful excercise for immature writer.
Even it is difficult to find something to write about, if we classify or manage information that Mcluhan believe we have a lot of it,we will find the issue for our writing.
I agree with Huff & Kline because it is basic writing skills. Expressive nonstop or free writing is one of the practices to develop writing. We can write by don’t have grammar, punctuation, and spelling. We write with the idea. Expressive language is common understanding and revealing a writer. Nonstop writing has technical to make a wide variety of writing which is a vehicle to development. We have a stimulus to to make idea for writing such as songs, newspapers, lyrics, etc.
